Hi everyone, Why oh why does the world cup have to dominate not only every TV set but the mind of every male as well. Why is my boyfriend who doesn't normally have any interest in football suddenly glued to the television with the room in darkness, a can in his hand and me banned from speaking. What is it about the world cup that it is able to capture so many brains. Please someone tell me the secret, prehaps then I could make mny other halp obsessed with taking me out of cleaning the house!!!
You know, I live in the US, and I tried watching the Italy-Chile match on ESPN and after watching it for 25 minutes, I got bored and switched it to soap operas, which was the lesser of the two evils. I can't tell you what is so captivating about the world cup anna, because I think that football is a very dull sport. Could it be nationalistic pride? I remember staying up to watch US hockey contests until 5 in the morning when we got our asses handed to us by Finland and the Czech Republic... I don't know. I'd like an answer too.
